Wow, that's blue.
I had to think about it, but I have a few candidates for 'true blue' in the garden.
The plant I think of as having 'true blue' flowers is the fabled 'blue poppy' (meconopsis).
I saw magnificent plantings of it in Iceland 2 years ago (pic #1).
Unfortunately, my climate reminds no one of Iceland.
But, undaunted, I have tried a hybrid called meconopsis x sheldonii which actually survived here (pic #2).
People may question how 'true blue' my attempt turned out, but I was thrilled regardless.
